Re: FX Trading

I remember back at the turn of the millenium the pound was 3:1 to the aussie dollar and nearly 5:1 to the kiwi....

Re: FX Trading

I believe FXtrader meant more short term forex trading

I got short now (20:28) on USDJPY @ 84.285, SL at 84.53, TP at 83.54 for R:R of 1:3.

Re: FX Trading

GBPEUR worth a punt, as fundamentally the EUR shouldn't be rising but today it's getting squeezed up, even though Ireland got downgraded 5 notches today by moody's from Aa2 to Baa1 (FT Article), it seems the German optimisim highlighted by the rise in the "Munich based Ifo's business confidence index" is the only thing offsetting the bad news.

The only thing holding the EUR up now seems to be air, and over optimism from Germany! So I'm long GBPEUR short term till the end of the year at least, and then reevaluate if the GBP continues to decline...

Current GBPEUR level 1.1734... let's see where this ends up on Monday...

Cable went south at 1.5646: 1.565 did seem like a point of turn and a better target in this case (the lows around Oct 20 stand out). What time frame are you using?
I moved my SL to BE on USDJPY.

P.
Talking about the EURCHF - according to the Swiss newspapers it seems the SNB president Philipp Hildebrand has been going around talking about a "horror scenario" of 1 euro = 50 rappen.
Seems a strange & unbelievable thing for a central bank president to be caught saying.

and the expected rise for monday...

now trading at 1.1826 up around 92 pips/0.7pc

Re: Risk... no risk of course I ain't opened any real positions, just musing over the highs and lows

On the other hand I am long GBP by default so any strengthening of the sterling is good for me...

That sure doesn't sound like a therapist to my ears.... sounds more like my ex colleagues in the dealing-room
